Boating All Out

Saw a guy in Ohio being interviewed yesterday. He works at a small,
struggling company that refurbishes and rebuilds commercial machinery.

He said that he has been a life-long Democrat but this time around he
and most of his fellow workers are going to vote for Trump. He said
that despite all the promises and rhetoric, the "Democrats have done
absolutely nothing about bringing back good jobs and improving
opportunities for the middle class."

I think this is the heart of the Trump appeal to many blue collar
workers. Today's Democrats talk a lot and make grandiose promises that
win votes but do nothing to actually help the middle class. Hillary
regurgitates the same old, same old. What is needed is a serious, hard
core effort to bring manufacturing jobs back to the USA by making it
economically desirable to the companies that currently outsource them.

Except Trump isn't trusted. Hillary isn't trusted. Besides, tool and
die-making is pretty much dead here. But it could come back. Then
people will whine about the cost of manufactured goods.
BTW, these polls about "trust" are bull****. How about we if we give
*any* candidate a thorough vetting and publicity of that vetting and then
start asking about their trustworthiness? It's all media-produced.
Just like the polls about people fearing the Ebola virus, or ISIS.
I expect a record turnout voting for this election. Why would people
turn out to vote for *untrustworthy* candidates?
Yet they will.
